The review board can upgrade discharge Characterizations.

When a service member departs the military, their discharge documentation, known as a DD214, details the nature of their discharge. Most veterans will receive an honorable discharge at the end of their service. However, a service member's service may be characterized less favorably due to their acts while in uniforms, such as a poor discharge or discharge under less than honorable conditions.
